So YouTube are having another go at its fabled comedy week. Not content with another failure this week is Geek Week. YouTube’s themed week series is falling into a dire lack of functional or interesting following.

Google cant even be arsed to advertise it. The expectancy to assume everyone will just pop on and watch it through the video upload database was the reason it was an epic fail last time.

Not content with already upsetting or insulting Geeks, YouTube have decided it best to brand them for another compact failure waiting to come. Sure, it might have gathered more interest this time around after people only found out about comedy week the day it ended a week ending on a Sunday a few months ago. I’ve probably given you a heads up here Google being highly influential in media. No need to send me a 10% commission, of course. Because I simply wouldnt get it, would I?

Regardless, why are they bothering if they cant really do anything with the site? YouTube is a passive come and go site for multiple users. They have no fuller interest or intellectual mindspan to watch indepth or learnable crafts on screen. If it isnt a music video, a cat yawning or some guy jumping off a building near killing himself for two minutes, no one really cares.

So then, perhaps your biggest challenge is to change that in the sense of making people really interested. It will take much more than a random week every month or two. But we can all hold out before Christmas cant we? What will it be then? Beauty Week? Where females powder their noses on their cameras to keep Google’s purse ever more fatter at the expense of people who wish to share content in a productive manner than insight insane levels of abuse for one video of a contrasting view and a whole mess of comments undealt with by LazyTube employees?

Will those employees also tell you your name is a rubbish one, you should use your fulllname, which information they send to NSA, by the way, or will YouTube tell you you cannot have a video removed if someone filmed you in it without your consent because the employee is rude and ignorant and works for Google so can hide behind a big company?
